#NRL 2014: Round 5 Tips

The Alex McKinnon injury remains at the forefront of my mind, so again, just tips for Round 5.Thus no Late Mail this week but it will return for Round 6 - as will the NRL Injured List next Tuesday on www.wdnicolson.com.My thoughts and prayers remain with Alex and his family.

Round 4 Tipping was below average - going 3/8 to drag my record to 14/32 for the season... and in desperate need for a 6 or 7 week to get back to respectability. Trust St George Illawarra to finally lose when I finally decide to pick them last weekend... never again!

ROUND 5 TIPSAll tips are subject to last minute changes, Game Odds/FootyTab are from Wednesday night and do not update thereafter. Times listed are stadium location LOCAL time.

Quick Hit Rd5 Thoughts:Dogs not without hope on Friday but I do expect the Roosters to win by 10+ (even though I haven't tipped that... go figure) ... Broncos should beat Parra unless they forget how to tackle ... Sharks or Warriors - flip a coin and go for the team with two wins in a row ... Panthers at home over Raiders please ... Rabbitohs remembered the Sutton-Reynolds combo actually goes well so they should edge out Saints ... Melbourne by quite a few over the overachieving Titans ... Manly over the Tigers at Leichhardt because they have DCE and Foran and Wests don't ... and finally, Cowboys MAYBE over Knights - only because this is in Cowboyland - Nth Qld went into 2012-13 habits in attack last week.Warrick D.
